Pandemic didn’t stop expansion of Jewish Community Center. Here’s what’s new, expanded
If you haven’t been to the Jewish Community Center is a while, it’ll look different the next time you visit. The Overland Park campus recently finished a $13.5 million renovation. “We’ve had about 10 years of substantial growth. Pretty much all of our programs were at all-time highs prior to the pandemic hitting,” said Jim Sluyter, CEO and president of the center. Planning for the changes started about three years ago. Sluyter said creating multi-purpose spaces was one key focus of the project.
